The teams have been chosen. The table has been oiled. The matching wristbands have been coordinated. The official Integrity foosball tournament is ON!
Friday, December 11 will usher in the first annual company foosball tournament. In preparation for this monumental undertaking, teams have been strengthening their flicking wrists, practicing their high-fives and trash-talking like Perez Hilton after three martinis.
“In honor of this time of holiday spirit and giving,” says Ed Morrissey of team Something Awesome, “We’re going to give John and Beth something to cry about.” His partner in crime, Catherine Betz, joins Ed in this festive proclamation of kicking ass.
Tensions are running high as more and more “important meetings about that website stuff… and things…” are being called-followed by the clicking and smacking of balls in the basement. And the occasional sob of defeat.
“We need our own theme song, we need our theme song!” cried Berrek Thompson, the other half of team Army of Darkness, along with Natalie Kurz, who was heard declaring, “That can of whoop-ass doesn’t come with a return policy, bubba.”
The office rivalries forming are epic—like Jacob and Edward, Harry and Voldemort, Jennifer and Angelina, Laverne and Shirley…oh, wait.
The winning tactics for team Tsunami, comprised of Reshma Chamberlin and Jake “the Viper” Wood, is for Reshma to squeal with delight at every goal in an attempt to unnerve the opposition.
Beth Buchanan, the other half of John Simanowitz’s team Master of Kung Foos, has been overheard shouting, “I’m gonna take down Facebook! Take it DOWN! Wait, what is this for again?” But it was shouted so ferociously, she has everyone shaking in their Uggs.
Robin Rath and Deanna Simanowitz, of team Master Paddlers, have taken the high road and refrained from partaking in the juvenile shenanigans of ribbing their opponents. Unless they are engaging in some form of silent mind control tactics. Freaky!
